Jim Parkinson -- Campbell Special  (1)

Bill Campbell rebuilt his Special after Bob Harris' crash.  The car looked much better and more finished in its second incarnation.  The fearless Jim Parkinson was enlisted as driver.

The car was the fastest main event entrant at Pomona, but suffered mechanical woes.   Due to an emergency head-gasket replacement Parkinson started three laps down.  Once on the course he was a rocket, breaking the lap record and moving up to finish 7th.

In 2005, the late Tom Mittler restored the Campbell Special and ran it at that year's Monterey Historics.
